I really like my Toyo Proxes 4 W-rated tires. I like them so far, although they are not "snow tires" however they are all seasons. I was limited in what I could put on the car so I chose these as they are a decent price and Ive had Toyo's before and really liked them.

I bought Avons from the tirerack, they are all season and handle well and I am very pleased with the wet weather traction. Price was not bad either. I've put about 5,000 miles on them so far and still very pleased. Avon 550 A/S 225/55ZR16

Harumph!
I've got BFG Traction T/A's they are good but avoiding an alignment since I bought it has caused the insides of all 4 to be worn down to nothing.
I'm probably going to go with a similar tire tread pattern on my next set as these have been awesome in all types of weather. Especially the snow we've had lately. Looking forward to getting the car aligned and reshoed.

Has anyone use the fuzions hri that are on tire rack? Also what is the lowest profile tire i can get with the stock rim? Thanks Chris

the toyos are really low profile for this car, but i doubt you can go any farther than whats on there. the stock Eagles are probably the best, they are just so damn expensive
am i not mistaken that the car calls for z rated?...having once sold tires and been through brid/firestone training if your car calls for a certain raiting you shouldnt cheap out and drop below it...the rating means more than just speed

i was told that I could drop to the W-rated tires without an issue by the tire shop we go to.

Do you need all-season tires? If not, look at Kumho Ecsta SPTs. They might not be the best tire out, but they will outperform any other tire mentioned in this thread by a good margin. About the best tire value going, IMO.

i just got my SHO, and it has Yokohama tires on it. Not sure if thats what came on it stock, but they seem to handle very well. Both low and high speeds and around turns.

the stock tires were Eagle's. some sort of tire specially made for the SHO at Ford's request from what ive read.

That the problem i can get the tires for 310 and 30 buck shipping. But i only seen the fuzions out for a little while. But the guy i know at belle tire told me i could go a 225/50/16. But i don't plan on keeping these rims on for to much longer. But i may need to keep for the winter. So let me know?

if you are going to change the rims go to discount or belle and see what they have for used take offs I would not put much money in them if you are not keeping them.
